Groggy...

I've been feeling a little under the weather this past week... I've got a tightness in the chest and it hurts a bit when I swallow. Nothing too drastic, it's not kept me off work or anything like that, but it has made me feel lethargic.

So today I lounged around the house in my dressing gown. I watched Miss Congeniality on DVD (amusing enough to pass a little time but not exactly rip-roaringly funny) and then promptly fell asleep in front of the cricket for six hours. I'm feeling a little less groggy now than I did this morning, but who knows how I'll feel tomorrow.

My ex used to say that I made a bad patient when I got ill. I don't know if that's true or not, but if today was anything to go by, then I'm much better off being left alone to just get better on my own. i don't want anyone fussing over me, and I don't want anyone asking me to do anything around the house when I'm not in the mood. So a day to myself to let my body sort itself out is just what I needed, thank you very much.

I had intended to join a gym today. I've been thinking about it for a few weeks now, and I got an email from them the other day saying it was half price membership until the end of the month. Now I know I'm not in the best of health, and exercise is probably not the best thing to do when you're feeling ill, but I thought I'd take advantage of their offer and then start going next week, or as and when I'm feeling better. I definately need to do something, I can't sit around the house all winter feeling sorry for myself like I did last year.

I've also been spending far too long playing around with the settings on MT 3.2, installing new plugins for the sheer hell of it, and then spending ages working out where I went wrong installing them, heheh. Still, it's a learning exercise. There's a plugin called stylecatcher which will download and install different style sheets from the Movable Type web site (or anywhere else that wants to make style sheets available). This is a pretty good plugin, if only so i can get some ideas about layout and colour schemes and see how they're implemented in the CSS. Unfortunately the style sheets may not work properly with my customised screen layout templates, but it's a neat idea nonetheless. If someone would like to modify the plugin or write a new one to let you download and install templates as well as styles, then that would truly be neat.

I also had a play around with another plugin called EnhancedEntryEditing which provides a full wysiwyg editor for making new entries. This is also pretty neat, but I can't say that i've been crying out for the features it provides. However, the more I look at MT3.2 the more impressed I am with it.

So that where I am today. I'm glad tomorrow's a bank holiday, I can get some errands done that I wasn't in the mood for today (like getting some food in) and hopefully I'll be right as rain for work on Tuesday.
